dump.exfat(8)

🎀 dump.exfat(8) 🎀

okay so the manual name is dump.exfat, and it's literally the tool for peeking at the on-disk info of an exfat filesystem 🔍✨ System Manager's Manual, bestie, the official stuff 💅

💖 NAME 💖

dump.exfat - Show on-disk information of exfat filesystem 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dump.exfat [ -d file-path ] [ -s dir-path ] [ -r ] device
dump.exfat -V

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so dump.exfat prints on-disk information from whatever device you hand it, as long as it's been formatted with the exFAT filesystem 💾🫶

🙈 Heads up, bestie: when you're printing directory entries, not seeing "double-link" does NOT mean the cluster isn't doubly allocated, unless your scan started from the root directory with the recursive option. Read that twice, it matters 😭

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -V — prints the version number and exits, no fuss 🌈
• -d, --dentry-set=path — prints the directory entry info from a given path that exists on the device 🧚
• -s, --scan-dir=dir-path — scans and prints directory entry info from a given path that exists on the device 🔥
• -r, --recursive — scans and prints directory entry info from a given path recursively on the device. Only works with the -s option, so don't try it solo 💅
• -c, --cluster-chain — prints the cluster chain while it's printing the directory entry info. Only works with -d or -s 🦋

dump.exfat(8) is giving main character energy, periodt 💜 Catch you later, bestie! 🫶 (manual page, dump.exfat(8)) ✨
